Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of workload level of a grammatical reasoning task on the auditory brainstem evoked response. Ten male subjects were administered three difficulty levels of a grammatical reasoning task. Brainstem evoked responses were recorded before and after the randomly presented workload conditions, as well as during each workload condition. The results revealed a consistent increase in Wave VI latency during all workload conditions, but no apparent differentiation between workload conditions. Post-test brainstem measures revealed that latency of Wave VI did not recover to pre-test baseline levels.
